Steiner Dolls

I made some of these great dolls when I was studying years ago and recently found them.  I can't remember how I made them but have found a great blog, see below.

I found the dolls great when working with children of all ages but particularly 3-5 year olds.  Because the dolls have no gender or expression they encourage children's creativity and inspire them to make the dolls who and what they want.  I often found children expressing their own emotions or concerns through using the dolls.  They are also really good to use for story telling (like puppets).
